I want to apologize for not posting more frequently, but I've been working on a project that I can &nbsp;not wait to share...but more on that later.<br /><br />Right now I want to tell you about the lovely <a href="http://allforthememories.com/" target="_blank">Allison Waken</a>, she will be teaching a Studio Calico class this month that you're not going to want to miss. It's called Chaos Control and it's going to be awesome. <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/shop/classrooms/day-by-day-chaos-control" target="_blank">Check out her blog here</a> for more info. Allison has asked me to contribute some of the techniques I use to stay organized and my process for collecting memorabilia. Today I wanted to share a sneak of the layout I will be sharing. In the class I will thank about what materials I use, how I collect memorabilia, and how to decide what to use and what to toss, because we don't need any extra clutter right! <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/shop/classrooms/day-by-day-chaos-control" target="_blank">Sign up for the class here</a>, I believe you'll see my full layouts and tips on March 16th. Happy Monday!<br /><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.blogger.com%2Fblogger.g%3FblogID%3D1068473416267523791%23editor%2Fsrc%3Dheader&amp;media=https%3A%2F%2Fimages-blogger-opensocial.googleusercontent.com%2Fgadgets%2Fproxy%3Furl%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252F1.bp.blogspot.com%252F-ybMpB7m2XlI%252FVPSAhHDD-1I%252FAAAAAAAAD7s%252FJ_TlD5VN-_g%252Fs1600%252Fsc%25252Blayout%25252Bsneek.png%26container%3Dblogger%26gadget%3Da%26rewriteMime%3Dimage%252F*&amp;xm=h&amp;xv=sa1.35&amp;description=" style="background-color: transparent; background-image: url(data:image/png; border: none; cursor: pointer; display: none; height: 20px; left: 26px; opacity: 0.85; position: absolute; top: 18px; width: 40px; z-index: 8675309;"></a><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.blogger.com%2Fblogger.g%3FblogID%3D1068473416267523791%23editor%2Fsrc%3Dheader&amp;media=https%3A%2F%2Fimages-blogger-opensocial.googleusercontent.com%2Fgadgets%2Fproxy%3Furl%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252F1.bp.blogspot.com%252F-ybMpB7m2XlI%252FVPSAhHDD-1I%252FAAAAAAAAD7s%252FJ_TlD5VN-_g%252Fs1600%252Fsc%25252Blayout%25252Bsneek.png%26container%3Dblogger%26gadget%3Da%26rewriteMime%3Dimage%252F*&amp;xm=h&amp;xv=sa1.35&amp;description=" style="background-color: transparent; background-image: url(data:image/png; border: none; cursor: pointer; display: none; height: 20px; left: 26px; opacity: 0.85; position: absolute; top: 18px; width: 40px; z-index: 8675309;"></a>Caytlynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13588444472882609444noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1068473416267523791.post-84882431792164468412015-02-21T13:06:00.000-08:002015-02-21T13:24:03.338-08:00lately + thank you!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9Q6BtD0EaAE/VOjtWHPb4PI/AAAAAAAAD7M/5TbfVvkbI-g/s1600/thankyou.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9Q6BtD0EaAE/VOjtWHPb4PI/AAAAAAAAD7M/5TbfVvkbI-g/s1600/thankyou.png" /></a></div>First things first, thank you all so much for taking the survey I posted a couple weeks ago! It was so helpful to see the results, so thanks a million times! The reason for a survey was to see what posts are the favorites. Turns out most of you visit this blog because you like my project life/ scrapbooking related posts. Also turns out almost all of you are also keep a project life style scrapbook, some of you scrapbook in a full page layout style, or mini book of some sort. I was really surprised to see the amount of people who use digital downloaded products and print at home, vs buying physical products. In fact more people said they download product or used a combination of both than just purchasing physical product. Technology! Also that was some great insight for a side project I'm working on that I'm really excited about! (more to come on that soon!) So what does all of this mean for madebycay.com?<br /><br />As a result of the survey this blog is going to focus mostly on my personal project life layouts, and my modern memory keeping process. You might see some home decor, and diy crafting posts, but I'm going to focus on my love for paper crafting and memory keeping from here on. If you're going to miss my adventure/just life posts you can follow my tumblr page or instagram, I post there almost daily. If you still want to see my design work I am going to be keeping my portfolio up to date with my most recent work. There is a portfolio link on the left, just click there :) Hope you're as excited as I am for the changes around here!<br /><br />As for life lately, it's been busy around here working on a new project I can't wait to share! I went to New York a few weeks ago for a press check for work, and I've been recovering from lack of sleep and non stop running around trying to catch up since! Finally feeling like I have a grip on things this weekend though. You know how it is, you have to catch up on laundry after being out of town, your fridge smells funny from the food that went bad and your routine is thrown from the time change. Ok that's all I've got, have a fantastic weekend!Caytlynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13588444472882609444noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1068473416267523791.post-72629866998081307752015-02-04T22:01:00.001-08:002015-02-04T22:06:21.936-08:00Project Life / #tbt<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PSgQUNA6xAQ/VNMF7ZdxBoI/AAAAAAAAD6U/AOI92G_Pxo4/s1600/febtbt1.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PSgQUNA6xAQ/VNMF7ZdxBoI/AAAAAAAAD6U/AOI92G_Pxo4/s1600/febtbt1.png" /></a><br /><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6p0ecwn8Su0/VNMF7LhulGI/AAAAAAAAD6Q/o2cX8B5Uw9E/s1600/febtbt2.png" style="text-align: center;" /><br />So first of all thank you all so so much for taking&nbsp;<a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/VLJXFGD" target="_blank">the survey&nbsp;</a>I posted! I will be leaving it open for the next few days, if you didn't take it please do, there's 10 questions, multiple choice and it is going to really help determine the future of this blog. Now for the fun stuff! I couldn't help myself when designing this weeks #tbt layout by using some baby bunny photos of Lolah.<br /><br />Second, it seems everyone really responded to the scrapbooking part of the survey, and said you like to visit madebycay.com for scrapbooking inspiration and project life related posts. So if you have any questions at all about my pages, what I use, my process, or book size, anything, leave comments! I am happy to help and share all my tips and tricks! I love this community of memory keepers and crafters, it's so fun to look around the web and see what people come up with for layouts!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.blogger.com%2Fblogger.g%3FblogID%3D1068473416267523791%23editor%2Fsrc%3Dsidebar&amp;media=https%3A%2F%2Fimages-blogger-opensocial.googleusercontent.com%2Fgadgets%2Fproxy%3Furl%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252F1.bp.blogspot.com%252F-PSgQUNA6xAQ%252FVNMF7ZdxBoI%252FAAAAAAAAD6U%252FAOI92G_Pxo4%252Fs1600%252Ffebtbt1.png%26container%3Dblogger%26gadget%3Da%26rewriteMime%3Dimage%252F*&amp;xm=h&amp;xv=sa1.35&amp;description=" style="background-color: transparent; background-image: url(data:image/png; border: none; cursor: pointer; display: none; height: 20px; left: 26px; opacity: 0.85; position: absolute; top: 36px; width: 40px; z-index: 8675309;"></a><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.blogger.com%2Fblogger.g%3FblogID%3D1068473416267523791%23editor%2Fsrc%3Dsidebar&amp;media=https%3A%2F%2Fimages-blogger-opensocial.googleusercontent.com%2Fgadgets%2Fproxy%3Furl%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252F1.bp.blogspot.com%252F-PSgQUNA6xAQ%252FVNMF7ZdxBoI%252FAAAAAAAAD6U%252FAOI92G_Pxo4%252Fs1600%252Ffebtbt1.png%26container%3Dblogger%26gadget%3Da%26rewriteMime%3Dimage%252F*&amp;xm=h&amp;xv=sa1.35&amp;description=" style="background-color: transparent; background-image: url(data:image/png; border: none; cursor: pointer; display: none; height: 20px; left: 26px; opacity: 0.85; position: absolute; top: 36px; width: 40px; z-index: 8675309;"></a>Caytlynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13588444472882609444noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1068473416267523791.post-49870759822817359342015-02-02T22:49:00.006-08:002015-02-04T22:02:29.345-08:00Hello / do you scrapbook?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XPwigB6THQk/VNDq6IJ1qWI/AAAAAAAAD5w/Szgsml_h2mM/s1600/survaymadebycay.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XPwigB6THQk/VNDq6IJ1qWI/AAAAAAAAD5w/Szgsml_h2mM/s1600/survaymadebycay.png" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Hello!

Ya know :) If you're a regular then you know there's really not a focus to this blog, it's just&nbsp;kind of whatever I feel like posting about. I see the stats and it seems scrapbooking related posts are the most popular. Are you all scrapbookers? Are you designers? I'd really like to narrow down the focus here, and spare you anything you really don't care to see.</span><br /><div><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>So it would be really awesome if you could jump over and&nbsp;</b></span><br /><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/VLJXFGD" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;" target="_blank">take this quick survey.&nbsp;</a>&nbsp;pretty please :)</b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Then I can blog about the stuff you want.

There is absolutely nothing I can think of that I want so badly that I will stand in a line thanksgiving night to get. I enjoy a thanksgiving dinner and the naps that follow much more than people stepping on my feet for a flat screen. Late friday though I caught the shopping bug and decided to wander out. I was pleasantly surprised that there weren't too many people out, and I pretty much had the whole h&amp;m store to myself. Below are links to my finds, (my favorite was the 25% off everything at madewell!) and it's not too late to score the same deals, most of the stores it seems are running their sales though cyber monday!<br /><div><br /></div><div>1. <a href="http://www.hm.com/us/product/51985?article=51985-A" target="_blank">h&amp;m chunky knit beanie</a> 2. <a href="https://www.madewell.com/madewell_category/BAGS/pouches/PRDOVR~02559/02559.jsp?color_name=true-black" target="_blank">madewell zip pouch</a> 3.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.madewell.com/madewell_category/BAGS/satchels/PRDOVR~B6836/B6836.jsp?color_name=true-black" target="_blank">madewell the glasgow satchel in black&nbsp;</a></div><div>4. <a href="https://www.madewell.com/madewell_category/BAGS/monogramit/PRDOVR~B2501/B2501.jsp?color_name=true-black" target="_blank">made well black leather wallet phone case</a> 5. <a href="https://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/accessories/umbrellas/PRD~B8630/B8630.jsp?Nbrd=J&amp;Nloc=en_US&amp;Nrpp=48&amp;Npge=1&amp;Ntrm=umbrella&amp;isSaleItem=false&amp;color_name=BLAH%20BLAH%20BLAH&amp;isFromSearch=true&amp;isNewSearch=true&amp;hash=row2" target="_blank">jcrew umbrella</a> 6. <a href="http://www.hm.com/us/product/45325?article=45325-A" target="_blank">h&amp;m ankle boot</a></div><div><br /></div></div>Caytlynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13588444472882609444noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1068473416267523791.post-48213162445518161282014-11-29T20:19:00.000-08:002014-11-30T20:21:53.284-08:00Decor / room makeover <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8i1NOM7VPbs/VHvq7AkZnoI/AAAAAAAADvQ/3mDzGtoeYvA/s1600/room2.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8i1NOM7VPbs/VHvq7AkZnoI/AAAAAAAADvQ/3mDzGtoeYvA/s1600/room2.png" /></a><br /><br />A few weeks ago I got a crazy idea to paint a wall in the bedroom black. So I did. Here's an update of where I'm at with the decor. I can't wait to do some antiquing to find some art for the walls and maybe a few more vintage looking pillows for the bed. Also I apologize for the bad photos, I have no excuse other than I need to work on my photography skills (that's on the list).

Hooray... anyways working on a 25 while 25 list. I've always enjoyed making my "new years resolutions" on my birthday, but I've never done one of these <i>25 very specific things to do and places to go</i> lists, so I'm looking forward to making some fun, some serious, and some kinda crazy goals for myself. Has anyone else ever done a list like this, I see them on other blogs all the time. Also shout out to all the other October birthdays out there, happy birthday!Caytlynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13588444472882609444noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1068473416267523791.post-44842418375428753512014-10-05T22:09:00.000-07:002014-10-06T17:33:52.938-07:00Just Life / san juan island<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uZEhDMneGRk/VDIZh0eDbbI/AAAAAAAADn4/q1bs6b49H78/s1600/friday%2Bharbor1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uZEhDMneGRk/VDIZh0eDbbI/AAAAAAAADn4/q1bs6b49H78/s1600/friday%2Bharbor1.jpg" /></a></div><br />Last weekend Jordan and I finally made the drive north to Anacortes to catch a ferry and explore the San Juan Islands! It has been on my list of things to do for some time now, and it turned out we both had a few days off so we were able to make the trip. Click on to see more photos from our trip and read about our adventure.<br /><a name='more'></a><br /><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1068473416267523791" name="more"></a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iBJs_l3snHw/VDIZt4jhnRI/AAAAAAAADoA/KqBPEaWta4A/s1600/lime%2Bkiln%2Bpoint1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iBJs_l3snHw/VDIZt4jhnRI/AAAAAAAADoA/KqBPEaWta4A/s1600/lime%2Bkiln%2Bpoint1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So I had a couple of days off work, and Jordan had a couple of days off work, and we didn't want to do our usual weekend thing...which usually consists of watching a Netflix show binge style one right after the other! Sooo, I decided we were going to Orcas Island! The night before our day trip I asked Jordan to figure out what time we needed to leave Seattle to catch the ferry...he figured it out and the next morning we set out on our adventure. We arrived in Anacortes around 11 a.m. an hour before the 12 p.m. ferry left, just like the WSDOT website advised us to do. The Orcas Island ferry is very popular so you are supposed to be in the ferry line an hour before it leaves to insure you get a spot. We drove up to the ticket window in Anacortes to be greeted by a nice elderly man, I asked for two tickets for the 12 p.m ferry to Orcas Island, he made a funny look, then kindly informed us that there was not a 12 p.m. ferry to Orcas Island, and that the <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">next ferry would leave at 3:30 p.m. Bummer!&nbsp;So I asked the ticket man when and where the next ferry went. He responded with "well you can go to Friday Harbor at 1 o'clock today, and if you're hungry you can grab some lunch in Anacortes". So we drove the short 2 miles back to town and we had a delicious couple cups of clam chowder before we hit the ferry line again around noon to catch the Friday Harbor ferry. I wasn't actually too irritated that we had missed the Orcas ferry, I'm typically one to embrace what happens, I cheeseily (is that a word?) believe almost everything happens for a reason, so I tend to roll with the punches. We parked in a very long line of people who all had clearly made this trip before...they had packed food, blankets, and overnight bags. Jordan and I had...um our phones and a camera. We parked the car and went for a walk while we waited for the hour to pass, it was relaxing and the weather was pretty perfect for the time of year. The ferry arrived and we drove on, I seriously love the ferry, it's my favorite things, which may seem odd to people who ride a ferry everyday for a work commute or whatever, but I seriously love them. It's just peaceful.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oxOe8aJvtM0/VDIfsAsclgI/AAAAAAAADoQ/i8-r6Qkw2t4/s1600/lime%2Bkiln%2Bpoint2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oxOe8aJvtM0/VDIfsAsclgI/AAAAAAAADoQ/i8-r6Qkw2t4/s1600/lime%2Bkiln%2Bpoint2.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We arrived at Friday Harbor, parked the car and walked around the cute little town for a bit. Took a stroll to admire the boats and made fun of the strange names people come up. As were were walking back to the car I spotted a map of things to do on San Jaun Island...thought to myself that, well we paid to bring the car with us...might as well drive to the farthest point we can. So it was settled we got back to the car and drove to Lime Kiln Point. That turned out to be a pretty good idea because it was so gorgeous. Not only was the drive over there beautiful, the view once we got there was just amazing.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0iM6CkT93Tc/VDIhhjwgj5I/AAAAAAAADoc/0ZmsC3QrazI/s1600/lime%2Bkiln%2Bpoint.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0iM6CkT93Tc/VDIhhjwgj5I/AAAAAAAADoc/0ZmsC3QrazI/s1600/lime%2Bkiln%2Bpoint.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We spent a couple hours taking photos and walking around at Lime Kiln Point, I was really wishing we might spot an orca! That didn't happen. It was still worth the trip though, and I am just so in love with this place that I am already planning time to go back, and next time an overnight trip, because as fun as the day trip was, I think a couple days here would be perfection. We caught the 7:30 p.m. ferry back, just in time to see the sunset on our ride home. I can't wait for our next trip north, and hopefully next time we will see a whale.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />Caytlynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13588444472882609444noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1068473416267523791.post-13087651535491092602014-09-16T22:32:00.002-07:002014-09-16T22:43:33.285-07:00Meet Lolah<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8e9n3H2IISc/VBkcTCbtSRI/AAAAAAAADmg/8oUYHMum9YM/s1600/meetlolah.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8e9n3H2IISc/VBkcTCbtSRI/AAAAAAAADmg/8oUYHMum9YM/s1600/meetlolah.jpg" /></a></div><br />Meet Lolah the bunny everyone!

First up, the Wayzgoose Steamroller Smackdown!!! read on to hear about it!<div><a name='more'></a><div><br /></div><div>The steamroller smackdown is a fun competition between design firms around Seattle. Large posters are made using a steamroller instead of just a regular printing press, it was so fun and super messy, blue ink everywhere.
